Conflict Minerals Report of Celestica Inc.

For the reporting period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017

This Conflict Minerals Report (“CMR”) of Celestica Inc. (“Celestica” or the “Company”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) and Form SD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period of January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

Introduction

Rule 13p-1 requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which the minerals specified in such Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products.  The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (the “Conflict Minerals”).  The “Covered Countries” for the purposes of Rule 13p-1 are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia and Angola.

Celestica is a multinational electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) company headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The Company’s global network is comprised of approximately 30 sites in 13 countries in North America, Europe and Asia.  The Company manufactures, or contracts to manufacture, certain products for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to their functionality or production.

Celestica builds products for a wide variety of leading OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), to be marketed under the OEMs’ brands. Typically, the OEM specifies all parts to be included in the product through an Approved Vendor List (“AVL”). As a result, Celestica does not control the selection of suppliers or materials sources unless specifically instructed to do so by its customers.

Description of the Company’s Products Covered by this CMR

This CMR relates to products: (i) for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of that product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during calendar year 2017.

These products, which are referred to in this CMR collectively as the “Covered Products,” consist of printed circuit board assemblies and complete system builds for the following end products: government certified and highly-specialized manufacturing, electronic and enclosure-related services for aerospace and defense-related customers; high-precision equipment and integrated subsystems used in the manufacturing of semiconductors; a wide range of industrial automation and controls, and test and measurement devices; advanced solutions for surgical instruments, diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring; efficiency products to help manage and monitor the energy and power industries; and routers, switches, servers and storage-related products to manage digital connectivity, commerce and social media applications.

The Company’s Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence Process

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, the Company has conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of the products it manufactures or contracts to manufacture.  This RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any of such Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of such Conflict Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources.

Celestica engaged with its immediate (Tier 1) suppliers to collect information about the presence and sourcing of Conflict Minerals used in products and components supplied to the Company. For new Tier 1 suppliers that came on board in 2017, such engagement also included the provision of Celestica’s Conflict Minerals Policy to such suppliers, and education on Celestica’s position regarding Conflict Minerals sourcing practices and the requirements of Rule 13p-1.  Information was collected using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) developed by

the Responsible Business Alliance (“RBA,” formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI).

Supplier responses were evaluated for plausibility, consistency, and gaps both in terms of which products were stated to contain or not contain necessary Conflict Minerals, as well as their origin. Additional supplier contacts were conducted to address various issues, including implausible statements regarding no presence of Conflict Minerals, incomplete data on the CMRT, responses that did not identify smelters or refiners, responses which indicated a sourcing location without complete supporting information from the supply chain, and organizations that were identified as smelter or refiners, but not verified as such through further analysis and research.

In addition to the RCOI, the Company also exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its necessary Conflict Minerals where the Company, based on its RCOI, had reason to believe that such Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not be from recycled or scrap sources.

The following criteria were used to determine which supply chains and associated smelters or refiners (SORs) were moved to the due diligence step:

·                  Supplier reported sourcing from Covered Countries;

·                  Provided SOR data indicated sourcing from a mine located in the Covered Countries;

·                  Listed SOR has been reported to source from a mine located in the Covered Countries (based on information contained within our internal database, which includes information from independent certification programs, and from Internet research/available public reports);

·                  An indication that the SOR sourced from a Covered Country; or

·                  Information provided about the SOR indicated the origin of the materials was not from a known reserve.

A total of 3,349 suppliers were surveyed as part of the RCOI process. Of these suppliers, 3308 provided responses, and of those, 57% responded “yes” as to having one or more of the Conflict Minerals as necessary to the functionality or production of the products they supply to Celestica. An aggregate of 543 individuals SORs were identified as used by such suppliers; however, the SOR information obtained from suppliers pertained to all customers of such suppliers, and did not correspond specifically to products/components supplied to the Company.

The Company’s due diligence measures were designed to conform to the framework in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition (2016) and accompanying Supplements.

The Company’s supply chain with respect to the Covered Products is complex, and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the ultimate manufacturer of the Covered Products and the original sources of Conflict Minerals.  The Company does not purchase Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or refiners.  The Company must therefore rely on its suppliers to provide information regarding the origin of Conflict Minerals that are included in the Covered Products.  However, because the Company believes that the smelters and refiners of the Conflict Minerals are best situated to identify the sources of Conflict Minerals, the Company has also taken steps to identify the applicable smelters and refiners of Conflict Minerals in the Company’s supply chain.

The OECD Guidance identifies five due diligence steps:

Step 1: Establish Strong Company Management Systems

Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

Step 4: Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices

Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence

It is important to note that the OECD Guidance was written for both upstream and downstream companies in the supply chain. As Celestica is a downstream company in the supply chain, its due diligence practices were tailored accordingly.

In addition to the RCOI described in detail above, the following constitute the procedures the Company used to identify supply chain risks in relation to Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products, and the due diligence activities undertaken to respond to those risks.

OECD Guidance Step 1: Establish strong company management systems

A management system is a framework of policies, procedures, processes and organizational structures that help enable a company to complete all tasks necessary to achieve its objectives. Celestica has established such a system by taking the following steps.

Adopt a conflict minerals policy

Celestica’s Conflict Minerals Policy is publicly available at www.celestica.com (under “About Us — Compliance and Ethics”). It states:

The mining and trading of Coltan (the metal ore from which Tantalum is extracted), Wolframite (the metal ore from which Tungsten is extracted), Cassiterite (the metal ore from which Tin is extracted), and Gold, and their respective derivatives, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) or adjoining countries (the “DRC Region”) has financed conflict, resulting in widespread human rights violations and environmental degradation. Section 1502(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Conflict Minerals Law”) requires SEC reporting companies to undertake an inquiry as to the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals and to make certain disclosures in connection therewith.

Celestica fully supports the objectives of this legislation, which aims to minimize violence and environmental damage in the DRC Region. We will comply with all applicable obligations under the Conflict Minerals Law. Celestica expects that all suppliers will comply with the Conflict Minerals Law and provide all necessary declarations using the RMI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. These measures will be used in conjunction with industry initiatives such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), formerly the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) to reasonably assure that the Conflict Minerals in the products we manufacture or contract to manufacture do not directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC Region. Celestica will assess future business with suppliers who are noncompliant with this policy.

Celestica is committed to ethical practices and compliance with applicable laws and regulations wherever it does business.

Assemble an internal team to support supply chain due diligence

Celestica has established a management system for Conflict Minerals. This management system includes an internal Conflict Minerals steering committee made up of senior management from Corporate Compliance, Finance, Supply Chain Management and Commodity Management functions, and a Supply Chain Management Environmental Engineering team to manage Conflict Minerals activities. The steering committee is updated on the results of Celestica’s due diligence efforts on a regular basis.

Establish a system of controls and transparency over the mineral supply chain

To provide better transparency within Celestica’s mineral supply chains and to facilitate communication of policies and expectations, Celestica has established an internal system to identify suppliers in Celestica’s mineral supply chains and the relationships between them, collect, store, and review information on Conflict Minerals sourcing practices, track information on SORs, and flag risks based on SOR sourcing practices.

Strengthen company engagement with suppliers

Celestica engaged with suppliers through multiple communication outreaches by email and phone to educate suppliers on Celestica’s expectations for sourcing and its Conflict Minerals Policy, and the requirements of

Rule 13p-1.  Suppliers were provided various avenues to obtain additional information and guidance regarding Celestica’s Conflict Minerals compliance program, including on-line access to Celestica’s Conflict Minerals Policy, and contact email addresses and telephone numbers for obtaining answers to questions and/or guidance on completing Celestica’s information requests.

OECD Guidance Step 2: Identify and Assess Risks in the Supply Chain

The following steps are recommended by the OECD to identify and assess risks in mineral supply chains.

Identify the Smelters or Refiners (SORs) in the supply chain

The Company attempted to obtain information on identified SORs using Celestica’s Conflict Minerals database, which includes information provided  through internet searches, other research activities (e.g., reviewing government databases and industry and trade organization lists), and contact with suppliers providing SOR information on their reporting templates. The Company also followed up where a sourcing location provided (country of mine origin) is not believed to be a known reserve for the given metal.

Identified SORs were matched against available lists of processors that have been certified by internationally-recognized industry validation schemes, such as the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), the London Bullion Market Association’s Responsible Gold Audit Programme and the Responsible Jewellery Council’s Chain-of-Custody Certification Program. Suppliers and products associated with certified SORs were assumed to meet the OECD Guidance due diligence standards and responsibly source their materials.

OECD Guidance Step 3: Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

Celestica implemented the following measures to address high risk SORs.

Report findings to senior management

A regular update is provided to Celestica’s Conflict Minerals steering committee on the progress and findings of the RCOI and due diligence.

Devise and adopt a risk management plan, monitor and track risk mitigation, and evaluate supplier relationship

Celestica is an EMS company that builds products for leading OEMs according to specifications provided by the OEM to Celestica. Typically, the OEM specifies all parts included in the product through an AVL. As a result, Celestica does not control selection of suppliers or materials sources unless specifically instructed to do so by its customers. If a risk is identified, Celestica will inform the customer of the risk in the supply chain and work with such customer to manage and mitigate the risk.

For parts that Celestica designs or over which Celestica has engineering control, if a risk is identified, Celestica will work with its suppliers to express its concerns about providing revenue to armed groups within the Covered Countries. Celestica will work with suppliers to provide a roadmap intended to ensure that the Conflict Minerals they supply to Celestica will be responsibly sourced. If a supplier refuses to comply, Celestica will assess future business with the supplier.

OECD Guidance Step 4: Carry out Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices

This OECD step does not require or define audits for downstream companies.  However, downstream companies can support these audits by supporting or joining industry organizations.

Celestica does not typically have a direct relationship with Conflict Minerals smelters or refiners and does not perform direct audits of these entities within its supply chain. However, as a member of the RBA, Celestica is a participant in the RMI RMAP, a joint initiative between the RBA and the GeSI. Celestica participates in the ongoing

discussions and updates of the RMI RMAP, an audit program designed to validate SORs’ sourcing practices.  Through the RMAP validation process, which is voluntary, an independent third party audits the procurement and processing activities of a SOR to determine if it has the systems and processes in place to support responsible sourcing of raw materials and can provide evidence to support their sourcing activities.

OECD Guidance Step 5: Report Annually on Supply Chain Due Diligence.

In fulfilling this step, Celestica’s Conflict Minerals steering committee:

a.              Provided management with periodic process updates during the reporting period and through the filing date;

b.              Informed management of due diligence efforts and results; and

c.               Completed and filed this Conflict Minerals Report, and the Form SD to which it relates, which are publicly available at www.celestica.com.

Due Diligence Results

Based on the information obtained in the Company’s due diligence process, the Company does not have sufficient information to determine all facilities used to process all Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products. The SOR information obtained from suppliers was at a company or division level, not at a product level, and as a result, we cannot determine which of the identified SORs are actually in Celestica’s supply chain.

With respect to the 543 SORs identified as used by the Company’s suppliers, 255 were certified as Conformant by RMAP or another recognized certification program (LBMA Responsible Gold Certification or Responsible Jewellery Program Chain-of-Custody Certification). In addition, 9 SORs were identified as “active,” i.e., they have committed to undergo a RMAP audit. The 543 SOR facilities that were identified pursuant to the due diligence process, and their certification status, where applicable, are set forth below.
